I Can't Believe There Is A Video Game That Looks This Good

I mean, I know it's a driving game, a genre that's long had the luxury of looking better than other games, thanks to the fact they only have to render a track and some cars. But still. Look at this.

This isn't some fancy cinematic trailer. The game, which is playable right now for its community of backers, actually looks this good. I'm serious. I've got a build and whenever I boot it up I think I've travelled five years into the future.

Project Cars is still in development, and will hopefully be out next year on PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U. Obviously, the footage here is from the PC version.

You can read more about Project Cars' pioneering funding and playtesting model here.

I found out about this early on when I was looking for games that fully supported the logitech G27. Bought the lowest cost access, then upgraded when I discovered its potential.

Even for a beta, its pretty damn good. Graphics and sound are top notch, my G27 works perfectly (with 900 degree or whatever it is supported). I'd love to get a racing chair setup eventually. I'd spend hours in it.

I've been debating about welding up a proper racing frame for years, ever since I got my G27. It'd sure save on setup time compared with bolting it to the table. That plus the Oculus rift means you won't even need a big screen, might be time to finally take the plunge :)
